Why on Earth isn't Danny Gatton in the top three of this list? I agree, Prince was overlooked for his incredible ability to sling an axe with the best of them, but Danny Gatton, Mark Knopfler, and Gerry Rafferty are all ominously missing from this list, and should be near the top of it this list as well.

I am disappointed that on all these great guitarists lists the one who is always overlooked is Terry Kath from Chicago. He tragically left us way too soon. I believe if he was still living he would be listed among the guitarists generally considered the greatest of all time, Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Etc. In fact, Hendrix loved Kath's playing so much he said "He plays better than I do".
